Hey,

I'm sitting here in Germany, trying to bring together my love for small and nimble sports cars with my lust for BMW straight sixes. I know, it's dynamically not the ideal solution, but the noise of the engine is great and that makes up for the lack in performance.
I found an offering with albereit minimal information and was hoping that someone in the PH community might know the car.
Here is what I know:
- Accoding to the current owner, it's a Dutton (not sure)
- Car is from 1991
- 150 HP (N20B23 / e30 323i ?)

For TÜV approval, I would need a lot more info on the car.

Looks like a GBS Zero to me.

Someone has taken an old Dutton registration certificate (crashed or dismantled car) and used the chassis & imatriculation number to avoid registering as a new car.

As for age - it looks like a new car in those photos, so 2025. Definitely not 1991.

This.

I'm amazed people still try this on.

You're right. It looks way too modern over all for a 1991 car. I fed an AI with closeups of the front axle and it points in the direction of an MK Indy Kit with Dutton VIN.
I like the general idea of the car, but it's night on impossible to get a registration for it in Germany. frown

Wth the nose cone and curved upper top wishbones, I agree that it looks like an early MK Indy.
